Last night, 4 guys on 2 scooters. They were using an angle grinder to go through the lock on my Vespa, at around 2am.


Luckily my wife and our neighbours all woke up, and one was taking photos of the perps and their scooters.


When I opened my door my dogs scared them off (or the sight of me in my pants). 3 police cars responded, then went looking for them.


The police are taking a much more active interest in this sort of thing than they did a few years ago, as these perps are subsequently doing much worse with the bikes they steal.


Anyway, lock them up, with alarms and multiple layers.

can we get some pics posted please.. seems like a pattern of thefts with scooters recently |& sooner these scumbags are caught the better

Sorry to hear that!


May I ask what lock it was? I think the best ones are the Almax and Pragmasis one (both British brands).

If your bedroom is close to where you park your Vespa, a lock with a loud alarm might be useful (but it can be muffled), or, better yet, one which causes a remote in your room to go off (they can't muffle that). I posted about it in another thread, but can't remember the name of the product now. I also have a GPS tracker (Alltrac), but, depending on the battery of your Vespa, that might drain a scooter's battery too quickly.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
